Over 120 Syrian members of ISIS joined US-backed forces in Deir Ezzor: SOHR

BEIRUT, LEBANON (4:20 P.M.) – Over 400 Syrian members of the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) were allegedly released by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the Deir Ezzor Governorate, the pro-opposition Syrian Observatory of Human Rights reported this afternoon.

According to the SOHR report, of the 400 terrorist that were released, 120 former ISIS members agreed to join the Syrian Democratic Forces in Deir Ezzor.

No further details were released.

While Al-Masdar has no way of verifying this report, the Russian Ministry of Defense has repeatedly accused the US Coalition of colluding with the Islamic State in Deir Ezzor.
